This was the original report send to the whitelist(a)surbl.org address. Note that it included no examples, no explanation, no reasons, etc. That's why it's nice include some of those, eh?

In my opinion - apparently (according to some definitions) legitimate emails that people have actually signed up for, that are obviously *only* sent out by known spammers to people tricked into entering their adress, or someone elses on a web site, that have *no* real purpose except to send spam - should be classified as spam, *not ham*. Even if people have signed up for the spam. Patrik

While I always read how reliable OB should be, of the few WL requests I've triggered, all except 1 were from OB. These were pretty ugly ones indeed, an Adobe child site, a Genuine abused Webmail site, etc, etc. juts wondering.... Alex

Please test: PailPolice fraud list, jp.surbl.org
by Jeff Chan 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

This is a request for folks to please test the MailPolice fraud list and jp.surbl.org: MailPolice Fraud list with SpamCopURI: uri MP_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('fraud.rhs.mailpolice.com','127.0.0.2') describe MP_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in MailPolice fraud list tflags MP_URI_RBL net score MP_URI_RBL 3.0 And for SA 3.0 with the URIDNSBL plug-in: urirhsbl URIBL_MP fraud.rhs.mailpolice.com. A header URIBL_MP eval:check_uridnsbl('URIBL_MP') describe URIBL_MP URI's domain appears in MailPolice fraud list tflags URIBL_MP net score URIBL_MP 3.0 (Note that the above is a separate, external list, so it can't be used like multi.) JP SA 2.63 and 2.64 rule and score using SpamCopURI 0.22 or later: uri JP_URI_RBL eval:check_spamcop_uri_rbl('multi.surbl.org','127.0.0.0+64') describe JP_URI_RBL URI's domain appears in JP at http://www.surbl.org/lists.html tflags JP_URI_RBL net score JP_URI_RBL 4.0 JP SA 3.0 rule and score using URIBL's urirhssub: urirhssub URIBL_JP_SURBL multi.surbl.org. A 64 header URIBL_JP_SURBL eval:check_uridnsbl('URIBL_JP_SURBL') describe URIBL_JP_SURBL Contains a URL listed in JP at http://www.surbl.org/lists.html tflags URIBL_JP_SURBL net score URIBL_JP_SURBL 4.0 In particular we'd like to hear about any false positives on either list. If the MailPolice fraud data looks good, we'll add it to PH, but we need your help in testing it. You can test these on hand selected test corpora or live mail, but please try not to melt the MailPolice name servers. ;-) Please give these a try and let us know what you find. Note that you'll probably want to remove the MailPolice fraud list after testing as a separate list if we add it to PH. Jeff C. -- "If it appears in hams, then don't list it."

"Fisuf Spam" Works for me! I think I had a "discussion" about this domain with Jeff before. Which is why I rang a bell. I think this may be one of the ones that started the whole UC debate. Hmmm.... could more Fisuf Spam be around the corner? --Chris
